Re: New pool project - equipment still not all in and running - treat water?

Without circulation, your water tests will likely be wrong. About all you can add now is some bleach to keep algae from starting. Once the water is pumping, balancing a fresh fill shouldn't take but a couple hours, including trips to the store. If you have no CYA in the water yet, just target 3 on the FC every day and mix it in good with the pool brush. Poolmath can crunch the numbers for you.

It's like brushing your teeth: You can spend a couple minutes a day and pennies a week or go to the dentist once a year and spend several thousand dollars.A pool is like a pet - you have to feed it every day, even the days you don't want to play with it!
